I received this set as a birthday gift and it is truly stunning. Purchased out of an estate I have been unable to to locate anything similar to it. Done in a combination of a gorgeous light aqua blue with the most delicate controlled bubble pattern, the set is really quite outstanding.

The decanter body is octagonal, as are the feet on all of the glasses and the clear stopper. The decanter measure 10.5 inches to the top of the body, and 14.5 inches to the top of the stopper. It is 3.5 inches in diameter. The glasses are 5.5 inches tall, 2.5 inches in diameter at the mouth and 1.75 inches in diameter at the foot. All bottoms are flat ground and polished, and one glass and the decanter are marked with an acid stamp.

The colours and bubbles do remind of pieces by Milan Metelak for Harrachov; and I vaguely remember seeing a cut piece in that style, too.I can't help with the Ceska mark; here is a thread with a vase most likely from the 1970s, with a similar mark (otherwise I would have thought that the mark would indicate rather recent Czech Republic production).

I would suspect that it is probably some export mark for the American market, and hasn't got much to do with Cesky Crystal (which was -- if I remember correctly -- another name for Chlum u Trebone glassworks).
